The emergency crew that responded to the Hancock County crash, which also injured two ambulance crew members and a pickup truck driver, called for a medical helicopter for the 64-year-old Breck — who died before it arrived.

But her family was billed for the emergency helicopter, anyway.

“About a week later, I was trying to deal with all of the insurance issues, car insurance issues, and PHI, the air ambulance company, started calling me and telling me she had this bill for $25,000,” her daughter, April Breck, told the TV station.

PHI Air Medical insists it’s not a bill, but simply a “statement” — although the document includes an “amount enclosed” box and a field to write in a credit card number, and Breck said the company sends her one every month.

“Sure looks like a bill to me,” she said.

The company issued a statement explaining why Breck’s family was assessed a fee for its “base rate,” which can vary by location.

“If our helicopter and crew have been called to a scene to provide critical care services to a patient in need, this means we have incurred costs on our end to provide this specialized care,” the company said.
